But that changes with the new MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WIFI PZ and MAG Z890 Tomahawk WIFI PZ White.<\/p>\n<p>Tomahawk is MSI&#8217;s mainstream family of motherboards and it&#8217;s the first time Project Zero and that more affordable series of mobos have been married. As MSI itself puts it, Tomahawk products are aimed at PC builders who want a &#8220;no-frills, reliable platform for their PC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like all Project Zero motherboards, these mobos move the connectors for everything bar the CPU, DRAM, and SSD on the rear, allowing for an ultra-clean look. As the Z890 moniker indicates, the boards are designed for Intel&#8217;s new Arrow Lake CPUs up to and including the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">range-topping Core Ultra 9 285K<\/a> and sport a decent sport 16+1+1+1 setup of VRMs for 19 power stages.<\/p>\n<p>You also get DDR5 memory overclocking support up to 9200 MT\/s, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for GPUs, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs, plus a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. Oh, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an Intel Wi-Fi 7 card, and 5 gigabit Ethernet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1280px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"gt7bUkuE4eqkHejcJQDMVm\" name=\"MSI Project Zero\" alt=\"MSI Project Zero\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/msi-intros-cheaper-back-connect-project-zero-intel-motherboards-for-super-clean-pc-builds-you-might-actually-be-able-to-afford.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Admit it, you wouldn&#8217;t say no to a build like this. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Slightly frustratingly given value for money could be the central appeal of these boards compared to the &#8220;back connect&#8221; competition, MSI hasn&#8217;t actually released pricing for these boards.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth bearing in mind that you&#8217;ll typically need a compatible case to use one of these super-clean mobos. In practice, that probably means more money on a new case, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/asus-btf-back-to-the-future-system-the-future-of-gaming-pcs\/\" target=\"_blank\">although as Nick explained<\/a>, some of these rear-connect boards are more compatible with legacy cases than others.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as we found last year, these back connect boards aren&#8217;t just about looks, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-pcs\/msi-project-zero-the-almost-cable-less-future-of-pc-builds\/\" target=\"_blank\">they have cooling advantages<\/a>, too. Anyway, hopefully, MSI&#8217;s new Tomahawk boards are part of a broader move to making cleaner PC builds more mainstream and affordable.
